Malta is one of the smallest countries in the world – so you would imagine that getting around it is easy! But it’s not to be underestimated, and you will need to plan your journeys if you hope to take in all the brilliant sights and attractions on offer.

The local bus system may not be the most reliable one in the world, but it is convenient, well-priced and will get you from A-B. There are many bus stops in Sliema, effortlessly connecting you to many other parts of the island – north and south. Just down the road from us there are no less than five bus stops, all going to different parts of Malta. And while some buses do go directly between particular towns or villages, must routes start in Valletta, so it’s easy to get the ferry from Sliema to the capital and then to choose the bus to your destination. The Sliema ferry stop is just a short walk from Two Pillows, making this an easy option for connecting to other parts of the island.
